Poly people aren’t more enlightened so feel free to take the advice that applies and leave the rest
When you seek advice about your relationship from strangers in a public forum, it’s important to understand that some of the strangers giving you advice could be harboring the same traits that you’re contending with.
There’s people in this forum who are unclear in their wants and expectations from a relationship and they’re going to advise you to have a lot of patience for that.
There’s people who explain their points of view using jargon but stumble when asked what the jargon clearly means, and they’re gonna advise you stuff like “welp, you said you’re not anchor partners so you shouldn’t expect x y or z.”
There’s people in this forum who withhold information as an act of dishonesty and don’t know the difference between that and privacy, and they’re going to advise you to ignore your gut because you aren’t entitled to some information that you’ve asked for.
There are know-it-alls on this forum who are jumping at the bit to look really woke and they are going to give you terrible sexual health advice for the opportunity to posture their progressive.
There are people in here who are like the people you’ve come to receive insight about, and they aren’t necessarily gonna give you great advice because they empathize with the person who you’ve come here to understand more. They may give you great insight into how that person is thinking. They can also encourage you to enable stuff that drives you crazy.
Keep that in mind and don’t be afraid to neglect advice that isn’t good for you, even if the top ten comments are all saying the same thing. Understand that those ten people may be the kind of people who jumped to answer the question before seeing what insight was already in the comments, and consider if you’d even take advice from the kind of person who’d make a whole new comment adding nothing to the convo instead of just upvoting the person who they agree with and commenting under their stuff.
Listen to your gut (not your genitals or your brain or your heart) when you read these comments. You know what’s right for you.
